Dwell One Embracing Solo
競賽背景 / Competition background
《人口統計雜誌》（ Demographic Research Journal ）的文章稱：“獨居：亞洲一人家庭”（ 2015年 ）將這類家庭視為世界上增長最快的生活狀況，尤其是在亞洲。當前的社會福利制度和機構不僅不支持單人家庭，而且資源的分配和利用僅限於理想家庭，並且為理想家庭提供了便利。
“一對一餐桌”，這一要求在城市居民中越來越普遍，尤其是根據歐洲和北美洲的衛報。在東亞，尤其是在韓國和日本，這種現象已經表現出來並被誇大了。在日本，拉麵隔間是一種趨勢，而韓國甚至創造了一個單獨的就餐者的稱呼。然而，單獨用餐就與異常現象相關聯，與通常的做法背道而馳，並在全球範圍內沒有涉及幸福感。
競賽內容 / Competition content
在住宅所在的社區，鄰里和/或公寓/房屋中設計一個人的住宅。 住宅可能包括也可能不包括住宅的所有基本功能，例如廚房，浴室等。鼓勵參與者設計自己的敘事，而不是設計自給自足的住所，而是描述支持系統和從事基本功能的活動，從而闡明住所與社會之間的關係。
描述：獨居與社會之間的關係必須描繪個體主題與家庭內部的對比。單人住宅的設計必須確認其空間和與主題居住地相連的室內裝飾的重要性。

Dwell One Embracing Solo
OVERVIEW
PREMISE
“How marvelous that when I am in a room with another. The mountains, trees, wind, and rain leave us for the mind, and the room becomes a world itself”.
Louis Kahn’s sketch, Architecture comes from The Making of a Room, portrays spatiality with only a person, whilst describing the room as a state of mind; a space under one’s authority, and for personal reflection. However, materiality and spatiality interpreted from sketches clearly demonstrate the room as organized in relation to society; the room has a clear geometrical center, with a fireplace to the right, defining the centrality of the room.
The door signifies the room’s connection to a wider world around, simultaneously extending an invitation to enter this space. Windows allow light and wind, creating an environment. The sketch shows a person and a chair by the window indicative of man’s desire to create space not only for him but also with the need to invite another into this space.
TABLE FOR ONE
Demographic Research Journal’s issue says, Living Alone: One-person household in Asia ( 2015 ), addresses this type of household as the fastest growing living situation in the world, especially in Asia. The current social welfare system and institutions not only fall short of supporting the one-person household, but the distribution and utilization of resources are known to be limited to and facilitated for an ideal family household.
“Table for one”, a request that is becoming an increasingly common occurrence amongst urban dwellers, especially and according to The Guardian in the European and North American. In East Asia, especially in South Korea and Japan, this phenomenon has manifested & exaggerated. Whereas in Japan, ramen cubicle for one is a trend, South Korea has even created a term for lone diners hon ap. Yet, dining alone is associated with the abnormal, away from the usual practice and globally excepted notion of well-being.
IDEA
Reflecting on the fact that an increase of single-person household, it has become imperative to imagine housing and dwelling outside of ideal family household; single-person household, old age home, hospice, sanatorium, home for orphans, group home, etc.
How does a single person dwelling confirm its normality and well-being? Sitting at the threshold of communal and private, or simultaneously confining and liberating, the single person dwelling is purposed as both: for isolation and production, shift between these two states of being.
Within the current urban situation, the notion of single-person dwelling is not limited to individuals outside of the ideal family, rather it has become essential questions towards the consciousness within individuals that how to be well-being without dependent on the image of the ideal family.
BRIEF
Design Brief: Designing a single person dwelling within a community, neighborhood, and/or an apartment/housing in which the dwelling is located. The dwelling may or may not include all basic functions for dwelling, such as kitchen, bathroom, and so on. Instead of designing self-sufficient dwelling, participants are encouraged to create a narrative that describes the supporting system & engagement to fulfill basic functions, thereby articulating the relationship between the dwelling & society.
Description: Relationship between the solo dwelling & society must portray the notion of individual subject contrasting from that of within a family home. The design of a single-person dwelling must confirm its spaces & materiality of interiors articulated with the subject lives in.
Sententiously, the plan of a community, neighborhood, and/or an apartment/housing establishes how single person dwellings are part of a larger social structure.
